Abstract

A compressor for the air conditioning system of an automobile, having a housing and a compressor unit arranged in the housing for taking in and compressing a refrigerant. The refrigerant flows from an intake area through the compressor unit into a discharge area likewise formed in the housing cover, and the housing cover sealingly connects to the housing via connecting members. For reducing a load on the connecting members, the connecting area, through which the connecting members extend, is at least substantially separated from the pressure generated within the compressor.
